Lahar Alpine Retreat - Hot Tub, Mountain Views & Secluded Bush Setting
A piece of alpine paradise, secluded and surrounded by forest, this authentic log cabin is fitted with all the little luxuries. Enjoy the mountain views from the decks and hot tub and cuddle up near the wood fireplace on chilly evenings and soak up the tranquility of this special spot.
This peaceful retreat is close to both Mount Ruapehu's skifeilds, biking and hiking trails including the Tongariro Crossing and only 10 minutes from the restaurants and amenities of the Ohakune township.
Inside you will find a roaring log fire, well equipped kitchen and quality linens. Downstairs is a king bedroom with direct access to the deck and hot tub. Upstairs are the additional bedrooms both with shared balcony access - a king bedroom overlooking the forest & mountain views, and a second room with a queen bed and a set of bunk beds separated for privacy by a permanent dividing wall. The sunny little balcony off the bedrooms is the perfect spot to enjoy your morning coffee and soak in the views. Beds are made up on your arrival and freshly laundered towels are provided.
Ski and bike storage is easy in the covered carport while the purpose built drying room make getting you gear ready for the next day easy.
Children love the log cabin (and arguing over who gets the top bunk). For their safety a stair gate and a fire guard is provided.

About the host
Hosted by Olivia Bishop
Steve and myself are Ruapheu locals, living on our farm which borders the Tongariro National Park. We are fortunate to have unobstructed views of Mount Ruapehu with Ohakune as our local town where we enjoy the cafes and restaurants the village has to offer.
The great outdoors is our backyard with both summer and winter activities, cycling, skiing, hiking and rafting to name a few. We love to get out there both at home and abroad!
We are excited to be able to offer guest the gorgeous Lahar Alpine Cabin for their stay in Ohakune.
